Regular bike maintenance is really important to keep your bike in top condition; it's recommended that it's done every 4-6 months. The gears, wheels, brakes and general wear and tear are the most important things to check.

Watch how bike maintenance is done by the experts and get some tips on what to look out for in this how to video.

Cleaning your bike involves much more than just pointing a hosepipe at it and hoping for the best. There are lots of products and equipment out there that focus on specific areas of your bike and with a bit of elbow grease they'll keep your cycle looking shiny and new.
We also have lubes which will keep your bike's moving parts moving smoothly, and many help to protect from corrosion and early wear saving you time from repairing your bike later on.

A bike pump goes with a bicycle like peaches go with cream. You're going to need one to maintain the pressure in your bike's tyres, but there are many types to choose from: the portable hand pump, single and double action pumps which both work faster, and the heavy duty track pumps which are most certainly not portable, but do make pumping up tyres a doddle. We also have puncture repair kits that are invaluable when taken out with you on the road.

Repairing a bike becomes a heck of a lot easier when the bike is in a repair stand. Most repair stands can be adjusted so the bike is at the perfect height and angle for you to work on it. No more scrabbling around on the floor can only be a good thing.

The question of where to keep your bike when you're not using it is answered with a few choice words: rack, stand and holder. We have them all depending on how you'd like to store your one or many bikes, keeping them out of the way and safe from being knocked over.
We also have kickstands if you don't like to run the risk of chipping your bike's paintwork after leaning it upon something.

A lot of cyclists like to take matters into their own hands when it comes to bike maintenance, and we've got plenty of products to help you in this endeavour. From general spanners and snazzy multi-tools to complete tool boxes, you'll never have a problem looking for a specific piece of kit.

We have a whole host of care plans which will take bike repairs and maintenance out of your hands and put them into the hands of the pros. Care Plans are available for all members of the family and we'll ensure that your bike is in tip-top condition and raring to go on your next adventure.
